Post Modern Skateboard – a skateboard without a board and with only two wheels

Despite its name, the Post Modern Skateboard bears almost no resemblance to the skateboard as we know it. It consists of only two 10-inch wheels with a platform for the feet. A better description would therefore be a hoop skateboard, but it offers just as wide a range of options as a classic skateboard. But it is not only the appearance, but also the propulsion technique that separates them, which is slightly reminiscent of figure skating.

For the 45th anniversary, the Nissan GT-R got a golden example

On the occasion of the 45th anniversary of the legendary Nissan GT-R model, Nissan produced a gold model, the "45th anniversary gold edition" model, which pays tribute to its "forefather". If you are well educated, you will know that this one was born in 1969, not a year later, but why split hairs. The special model will bear the designation 45. Otherwise, a very limited number of gold examples will be produced, and the newcomer has received more than just cosmetic tweaks compared to its predecessor, except for the color.

Muka Design Lab: Reves - armchair or chair with a "hood"

There is nothing better than resting, thinking, talking or reading in a quality armchair. But Reves from the Spanish studio Muka Design Lab is not just a comfortable armchair. It is a versatile lounge chair with wooden legs and frame, a hybrid, a mixture of a classic chair and an armchair. It changes from the latter to that usual expression if you wrap its cushioned extension around the backrest like you would a sleeve or shirt collar.

March 22 – World Water Day

Water also has its own day - March 22. In 1993, the General Assembly of the United Nations declared this day the World Water Day, which reminds us of the importance of fresh water, its influence on our lives and with which it wants to improve our relationship and management with it. In Slovenia and in Europe in general, drinking water seems to be taken for granted, but if we look a little further, we quickly realize that it is much more than that. This year's theme is "Water is development".
